May 05, 2014

April 28-May 4

Senior Dennison Long swept for the 100m and 200m dash events for
the second consecutive year and was once again named the
meet’s Most Outstanding Male Track Performer at the 2014
America East Outdoor Track and Field Championships this past
weekend at Vermont. The Greenbelt, Md. native broke the
conference record in the prelims of 100m dash with a time of 10.37,
and then equaled it in the finals as he earned gold. Long
also led the pack in the prelims of the 200m event, and then
snapped the league mark in the finals with a gold medal winning
time of 21.12.

In addition to his individual gold medals, Long helped the 4x100
relay team win a silver medal with a combined time of 41.62.

This season, the senior sprinter has recorded career-best times
in both short sprint events to move up in the Retriever record
book. He currently ranks second in both events, behind only
head coach and 1997 Retriever alum David Bobb, with his top 100m
time of 10.36 from the Pepsi Florida Relays and his top 200m time
of 20.86, which was recorded at the Mason Spring Invitational.
